TV Shows - Sex and the City

Sex and the City is an American cable television series. The original run of the show was broadcast on HBO from 1998 until 2004, for a total of six seasons.
Set in New York City, the show focused on four women, three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties. The quirky drama/comedy had multiple continuing story lines and tackled socially relevant issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, heartbreaks, multiple partners, and promiscuity. It specifically examined the lives of big-city professional women in the late 1990s and how changing roles and expectations for women affected the characters.
The show was primarily filmed at New York City's Silvercup Studios and on location in and around Manhattan. Since it ended, the show has been aired in syndication on networks such as TBS, WGN, and many other local stations. However, basic cable outlets edit out certain explicit show content that was broadcast in the original version.

I can't stand Berger...or as how Big referred to him, "Hot Dog". He is such a lame, whiny man! He character is boring, and there attempt at the "clever author banter" jokes between Berger & SJP falls flat. All he does is complain and mope around. And, there is absolutely NO chemistry between SJP and Berger. And what was up with the slow motion slamming to the floor of the carnations? That was LAME...I actually laughed out loud. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 3, 2014, 9:47 pm - (0 votes)

When it became my mom's favorite show and she started ordering cosmopolitans to be trendy. I don't want to think about my mom watching Sex and the City! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:19 pm - (2 votes)

When everybody started doing the OPPOSITE. Samantha went gay. Independent woman Charlotte became a housewife. Miranda went from hating kids to being pregnant. Carrie lived with that dork. I am not tuning in to see "Thirtysomething"! I don't want to see babies, breastfeeding, umbilical cords, or that geek Steve! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:18 pm - (0 votes)

When Miranda ate the chocolate cake out of the trash. OK, Miranda's been having it tough. But choking that last bite down from a cake tossed in the TRASH?!! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:15 pm - (1 votes)

When SATC began to pack in death, birth, infertility, abortion, testicular cancer, and a lesbian love affair all in the matter of five weeks. The attention paid to the show made it start to get pretentious. It's OK to tackle a difficult/serious subject once in a while, but every episode? -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:14 pm - (0 votes)

The show jumped the shark when Carrie was walking around New York with a parasol to block the sun. I had been rapidly losing patience with her ridiculous outfits, and this was the final straw! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:13 pm - (0 votes)

When Big cried all over Aidan's table in the country about getting dumped, the shark was circling. When Miranda got pregnant, the shark was gearing up for a munch. But when Charlotte says "We're having a baby" and Carrie ends with "And so, three Aunts were born" I knew it was all over. This show could never make it back from the brink again. Too many close calls (um, Samantha and her lesbian experiment for instance. Or Charlotte quitting her job to focus 100% on redecorating. Or Carrie quitting smoking because some guys says he can't date a smoker). It was fun while it lasted. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on September 2, 2014, 6:09 pm - (0 votes)

Jaws, what you're referring to is known as "Flanderization," i.e. where a character becomes defined by a single characteristic, which becomes grossly exaggerated, and this defining the entire character as a one-dimensional running gag; it was originated when Ned Flanders became nothing but a super-optimistic, bible-thumping nonsense-talker.
.
I could tell about this on SACTC when Carrie started bitching about Berger writing about a girl's hair being tied with a "sccrrrEEEEEEEENCHEEEE!!!"
But the whole series BTF from Day 1, since the girls were pretty self-centered and mean-spirited, and had NOTHING in common, other than constantly stuffing their faces in restaurant together every say. The jokes also stunk more and more, with Carrie's horrible puns reaching far below the New York sewer-line-- until it really hit the crapper with the movie's "And as Charlotte released her bowels, I RELEASED my feelings!"
That stunk in MORE ways than one.

Any woman who aspires to be anything like any of the main characters on this show should be euthanized. -- Submitted By: (lojo) on March 5, 2010, 9:47 pm - (5 votes)

Like Mr. Big would've ever left Natasha in the first place and then traveled to Paris and rescue Carrie from mean 'ol Russian guy and then say: "You're the one, Carrie." *gag* I'm a die-hard romantic and even I was like, "Puhleeze!! As if!" -- Submitted By: (Stephanie) on February 10, 2010, 11:28 am - (1 votes)

Not having cable, "SATC" was a show which I had heard so much about and was able to view when it came to "regular" tv via syndication. I was amazed at the level of writing in this day and age because I avoided sitcoms like the Plague. I found most of them stunningly unfunny and gravitated towards reality shows and reruns like 'All in the Family.' The witty dialogue of "SATC" is truly impressive, but I believe it JTSd (sorry, but I am not feeling this new expression) during the sixth and final season with Charlotte becoming a Jew and Carrie taking up the "The Russian" (oh, and before him, that whiny little biotch Berger). In the case of Carrie with Berger, she acted manic, which was out of character for her...well...character. It was an exaggeration which marks the demise of tv shows. "All in the Family" began doing more physical comedy and Archie's malpropisms started going thru the roof. Another red flag is when the characters over do it, as in "Roseanne" when Laurie Metcalf became more shrill. So it was good that "Sex and the City" ended when it did. It preserved its snappy writing and minimized the lamola plot lines. -- Submitted By: (jaws) on December 4, 2009, 9:03 pm - (-2 votes)

Sex and the City was one of the best shows ever! I loved the movie, too. It was a good show that tackled socially relevant issues. They always had fun with men, but at the end of the day, they always had each other. -- Submitted By: (LauDor08) on November 11, 2009, 6:58 pm - (-3 votes)
